Practice question

- Every comment order is a final victory.
- The agency ruling becomes automatically void on receipt of the order.
- The respondent has already lost every factual issue.
- The clerk must execute the petitioner’s requested award immediately.
- Requiring a comment is not itself a merits reversal or even a final due-course determination.
